CHAPTER ii.

The second door on Rleecker street
the one communicating with the upper
floors of the Manhattan Bank building
was suddenly burst open and fantastic
apparition bolted forth on the sidewalk.
1t was an elderly, under sized man, his
thin, gray hair and beard all in disorder
he was clad only in torn shirt destitute
of collar, pair of trousers, and with
stockings on his feet, but no shoes. His
features otherwise insignificant, were rem
dered noticeable by the scared and half
frenzied expression which was stamped
upon them, and his aspect was further
rendered interesting by the circumstance,
conspicuously apparent, that his wrists
were manacled together by a pair of heavy
steel handouts. Altogether he had the
look of an escaped lunatic, and, inasmuch
as the desperate fit was manifestly upon
him, the startled spectators prudently
gave him wide berth.
Down toward Broadway scurried this
wild looking figure, and turning the
corner sharply he plunged down the steps
of kohlman's tonsorial saloon. The wor-
thy artist, who had been sharpening all
the razors in anticipation of customer,
was not little amazed by so headlong
and unheralded an irruption. But when
he recognized IN the person of his abrupt
and unkempt visitor no less an individual
tnan his old friend and gossip Louis Wer-
kle, the amiaOle and excellent jantor of the
Manhattan Savings Institution, his aston.
| ishment knew no bounds.
1t so happened that gentleman of per-
| maps 40 years of age, fashlonably dressed,
with an amethyst ring on his finger, and
nne gold watch chain lying across his
wdlstcoat, was strolling past the bank at
the moment of the janitor's appearance,
and when the latter plunged down Kohl
mans steps the gentleman, drawn by
curiosity, followed him. Ostensibly, he
| came TO get a shave, but as kohlman was
| thrown far too much off his balance to
allow of his paying ordinary attention TO
customers, the gentleman very annually
stood by and listened TO the curious story
which Werkle, in answer to the BARRIERS
| urgent lnterrogatories, was beginning to
! deliver himself Of
A very curious story it certainly was.
According to the ianitors account he had
gone to he quietly the night Def Jre, leav-
ing the bank in charge, of the regular
Waterman, Daniel Kelly. Kelly had
held his position for a number of years
past and was looked upon as a thoroughly
trustworthy man. He was assisted on
Sundays by supplementary Waterman,
Patrick Schevelin by name, who how
ever, was only on duty in the daytime,
and the hour for whose appearance had
not yet arrived. Kelly, then, had kept a
| lookout from eleven O'Clock ON Saturday
night until six that morning.
Al that hour 1t was his custom togo I'm
TO the janitor's rooms, (entering the build.
ing by the Beecker street door, which
| was locked, and which he opened with a
key that he carried about him and awak,

INDIAN CUSTOMS.
How the American Aborlgines Prepare
Killikinlck and Build "wickups."

How the American Aborlgines Prepare
KillIkinIck and Build "wickups."
The American Indians never smoke
pure tobacco. 1t is always three
quarters adultered with the "Red Will
low" common along the Western
streams, a shrub about eight feet high
called Killikinick, or an herb called
Larb, which grows in the Rocky Noun
tains. They can not smoke tobacco as
a white man can, it is too strong for
them. The Larb has small leaf half
as long as willow, and grows on the
side of the mountain as small shrub.
That is merely spread out to dry in the
sun, and is then crushed in the hand.
But with the red willow they cut
switches or sticks three feet long, and
scraping off thered bark on the OUT
side, they whittle the inner bark up in
curls all along the stick, and then
toast it over fire, until it is perfectly
hard and dry. They then crumble it
in their hands the same as they do the
Larb. They very often make immense
quantities of this to use, as it is always
preferred in the spring of the year when
it is fresh. 1t has q very sweet flavor
and odor, and it is very much sought
after by the Indians.
Very often in case of storm coming
up quickly the Indians rush into the
willow and build a sort of little hut
They plat the ends of the willow
together, making a little house about
three feet high and six or eight feet
long. They are termed "wickups.'
These little huts are often used by
white men in crossing the plains.-

AN OBSTINATE JUROR.

A stubborn Individual Who Was Evidently
Not Acquainted With Shakespeare.
In q will case before court and a
rustic jury Jere Black appeared as
counsel for the youngest of three sis
tiers, and sought to break the will on
the ground that the two elder sisters
had, with the assistance of his learned
brother, the counsel ON the other side,
caioled and coerced the dead father dur
ing his dying hours into signing a will
giving them all his property and leav-
ing the youngest daughter out in the
cold. Black, who was young then,
made great speech to the jury, in
which king Lear very naturally APP
peared.
"Goneril was at that bedside, gen.
tlemen of the jury" he exclaimed
"Regan was there, But where was
